The problem I have is Stepheny has an issue with Rocky Mount City Council and staff and has been trying to turn folk against them. But now trying to tell black folk who is good for them when she don’t give a damn about Tarrick but only supporting him because he is running against Andre Knight. So since she is mad and supporting the half-trues written by Lindell John Kay Rocky Mount Telegram Reporter, the lies on social media pages such as the Rocky Mount Concerned Citizens, Community Council, Keith Harris some others and on WHIG-TV. I say lies because look at the articles written by the newspaper and see how the wording is done to create a false narrative of what was actually stated at the meetings that would be more positive than negative. But my videos tell the whole story.

My question is why do these folk in the white community think they should be telling black folk who is best to represent them just because they are mad with Andre Knight. Mad because he is vocal and do not bow down to them. How many articles have you seen black folk write about who white folk should support to represent them. Hell I don’t want to see Lige Daughtridge on the council but copy and post one article I have posted about white folk shouldn’t support Lige in their ward. What I have said and will continue to say is that Lige is mad and has been putting out half-trues as well.

Tarrick Pittman50,000 Wow! That is not true and you should be ashamed for spreading that lie. Tell the people who gave it to me and show the paperwork. Don’t spread false information out of fear. Black folks you better wake up and don’t listen to this noise!

Curmilus Butch Dancy IITarrick Pittman I didn’t say they offered you that sir.I repeat I did not say they gave or offered it to you.I would not say they gave you anything if I couldn’t prove it, I don’t operate like that.No noise here.I only said why would you associate with these Special CS and when I put up the video this evening, I am going to explain why I say that.Sir again didn’t say you received the funds so you can stop that right.I repeat it is real per sources.

Tarrick PittmanCurmilus Butch Dancy II I’m here to tell you it is not correct information. A complete fabrication. I’ve never taken that much money from anyone, not even in business. C’mon now. Seriously? You’re suppose to be so pro black. How is it that you can attempt to tear down another black man with lies.

Curmilus Butch Dancy IITarrick Pittman Again I repeat there is nothing in my post saying you or another person accepted money. I stressed my trusted resources said it was put on the table.Again I stressed I don’t know how you associate with certain folk and my video from the meeting last night I am going to prove my point.For the record since you question my motive, I question how you as a black man is sitting back not saying anything while your associates lie, lie, lie. Bro for me that makes you a dangerous man in my opinion, I repeat in my opinion.

Tarrick PittmanCurmilus Butch Dancy II What associate is that? Samuel Battle? I talk to everyone and will learn from anyone. I spoke with everyone at the meeting last night including walking over to you to shake your hand. I don’t harbor the hate that you do. Once again, stop assuming I’m some naieve black man bought and paid for. It’s far from the truth.

Curmilus Butch Dancy IITarrick Pittman oh I harbor hate? You beginning to sound just like your associates them Special Cs I have already called out over the past several months.When I speak trues about you or whomever that is not tearing you down but making the truth known.Again I have not stated a negative about you.Copy and paste where I have stated you have received money from anyone.Bro let’s keep it real.Don’t try to speak for me nor paint a picture of me because I am a Professional Community and Political Agitator and my record speaks for itself. It is documented.Bro continue to do you but don’t throw out mess about the current council members and staff such as that transparent bulls… and other.You came up to me last night and spoke what up Watch Dog and I stood up and we hugged. Bro hell I didn’t even know who you were and had to ask somebody.

Ruth Boddie DavisTarrick Pittman if you’re so concerned about the City why not throw your ideas and assistance behind Andre, he’s one of the hardest working people in this City. But like everybody else including your President it’s not the City you wanna help it’s the POWER you wanna gain. Myself like Butch have never tried to get elected, we throw our HELP behind the person that’s doing a good job, Anyway you don’t have to worry about my vote 1 way or the other because I don’t live in your district. Just remember if you do win, wear armor cause you are gonna get stones thrown at cha

Tarrick PittmanRuth Boddie Davis Obviously you don’t know me or you would know I don’t care about power. I care about my community. I just happen to think that we need new fresh ideas. I don’t hate my opponent. How about asking him that question. Why he never reached out to work with me

Ruth Boddie DavisCurmilus Butch Dancy II Amen!!! He’s right I don’t know him but I’m sure I get to know him when his name becomes a household word, not for what you’re doing but what these folks think You aren’t doing. If Andre was a good councilman, I’d say go for it but the PROBLEM is Andre is NOT afraid to speak out and speak up.

Ruth Boddie Davis Tarrick Pittman, why don’t you share your ideas with him? Or is it his title you want.

Curmilus Butch Dancy II I am reminded the year I ran for school board and some white guys and a retired black principal wanted to finance my campaign. Oh hell knaw!Don’t get it twisted, there are some whites I work with but I don’t work with those who lie on black and white folk when I know they are lying.

I said I don’t know why Tarrick is associated with some Special Cs. Those Special Cs are Lige Daughtridge, Stepheny Forgue Houghtlin, WHIG-TV, Rocky Mount Concerned Citizens, Keith Harris and some others who are PROMOTING him Publicly to run against Andre Knight.

These folk have been lying on the Council, City Staff and others.

I got some inboxes stating that I didn’t say Tarrick took money from anyone that I was stating what I heard and what they heard that $50000 has been put on the table.I am ignant but unless I could prove who would except the offer I would not give a name. Names have been floating about who is making the offer and who have been offered so if I knew for a fact that Tarrick has been offered I would say say. So folk don’t get it twisted.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” Buckminster Fuller

You’ll pardon the use of a political slogan that is a cliche when I say, It’s Time for a Change. As the candidates for City Council and for Mayor have declared themselves, I already think of them as ‘Change Candidates.’ Campaign Slogans that are successful are the ones we don’t have to think too deeply about but intuitively know are right. It IS time for a change of leadership on the City Council, along with a new energetic, experienced, independent, business-oriented Mayor.

The following are ‘Change Candidates’ to believe in. – Sandy Roberson, Kevin Jones, Lige Daughtridge, Richard Joyner, and Tarrick Pittman. It would be a mistake to think of Mr. Pittman as simply the man running against the current city councilmen and ignore his positive agenda for Ward I. The rest of the candidates are not emboldened to run because of the investigations underway, but because they have the will, the experience, and knowledge to govern with Rocky Mount’s best interests in mind. Buckminster Fuller’s quote talks about building a new model and these ‘Change Candidates’ will provide new leadership, focused on the economic growth of Rocky Mount.

One more free consultant suggestion – that we treat these ‘Change Candidates’ as a slate. I have a friend who had direct experience in Chicago with a group of women who ran for various seats yet coordinated their messages, PR, interns, volunteers, printing, and speaking engagements. The end result – a consolidated message, individual and group print that furthered their collective campaigns. The voter turn-out was one of the highest in the history of the city! There is another plus to the slate approach — if I could give one donation, as I can afford, to support this slate, it falls under a tenant of mine….alone I can do so little, but together we can do so much.

Regardless of the political slogans each of the candidates uses, let’s make it our job to help however we can to get them elected. We all understand why this needs to happen. Let’s stay on the sunny side of the street and as a mentor of mine councils, Stay above the fray! PS: I am waving my usual nickel consultant fee to all Main Street readers.

Wow! Because a few angry white folk who are mad because they don’t have the power, it has come to this mess.

This is all about Race so black folk you better stay woke.

How many of these white folk who are mad been in your Ward and/or talked to you about change? Have they asked you if you want the change they believe in? What about your voice? I guarantee you will not have a voice if you listen to this mess.

Black folk if you don’t know Richard Joyner you better get to know him so you can hold him accountable. I know him and know he can be dangerous but so far he has been doing good.
